bpf: add lookup/update/delete/iterate methods to BPF maps
'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel and userspace. The maps are accessed from user space via BPF syscall, which has commands: - create a map with given type and attributes fd = bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size) returns fd or negative error - lookup key in a given map referenced by fd err = bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size) using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value returns zero and stores found elem into value or negative error - create or update key/value pair in a given map err = bpf(BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size) using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value returns zero or negative error - find and delete element by key in a given map err = bpf(BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size) using attr->map_fd, attr->key - iterate map elements (based on input key return next_key) err = bpf(BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size) using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->next_key - close(fd) deletes the map Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
